Submit a conference talk!

Conferences are always looking for new people to speak (since there's a tendency for it to be the same 20 people year after year otherwise), and we'd like to help encourage that!

So: If you're an active DW contributor (defined for this offer as 5 or more patches submitted in the last 6 months), and you have a talk accepted at any conference DW is going to have a presence at, we will pay up to $500 towards your airfare, and pay for your hotel room if you're willing to share with someone else.

(We'll also help you refine and rehearse your talk once we actually get to the conference!)

Conferences we are currently planning to attend:

OSCON 2013, proposals due Feb 4 (in four days!)
YAPC::NA -- they've just opened talk submissions and don't have a deadline yet
Open Source Bridge -- proposals due March 9

Did I ever mention having an idea for a talk at YAPC or something? Because my brain is going 'I thought I had an idea but I'm not sure what'.
